The Movie you are referring to is “The Longest Day”.
Midway was all Navy.
“Midway was all Navy.”
No sir, it was MIDWAY. The soldiers were on Midway Island as part of the force defending the island. If you have access to a copy of the original MIDWAY, watch closely at the face shots of the soldiers there. You will catch both a young Sean Connery and a young Tom Selleck as well. Enjoy!!!
